Public Servants Irked By 3% Salary Hike

Through the Botswana Federation of Private and Public Sector Unions (BOFEPUSU), the trade unions, voice was amplified as its leadership actively de-campaigned the ruling party. Public servants have once again vowed to hurt the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in the 2019 general elections.

BOFEPUSU president Johannes Tshukudu on Friday told a media briefing that following consultations with members about the government’s intentions to increase their salaries by 3%, their membership said they would punish the leadership through the ballot.
